Roks.... I see from a different, non Premier Kites website, they have come out with some new color variations such as Golden and Rainbow. They look great but does anyone know if these are built of the same quality as the old Premier Renzas...? ya ya I know....not at all like the very originals but....

Thanks for the answer!

About the sandy footprints, I feel your pain! I had to yell at people who were about to walk right into my lines about 15-20' in front of me. What is it about a beach where people just stop paying attention to their surroundings? On second thought, I drive in heavy traffic quite often and I'm starting to believe that some people are never aware of their surroundings!

Rok's can be stable or slightly unstable, like said above you can tune them for both so you can anchor them or fight them. They'll never spin like a fighter though, just "Rok" a bit. You'll usually bow the lower cross spar more then the upper to increase stability. The Premier Rok's are pretty nicely made for the price, we have 4 or 5 ourselves.

They are long, long bridles load the spars less due to the lower angles, maybe a reason? On Edo's all those long bridles increase stability but Rok's don't have that many bridle lines, maybe they just felt it's more traditional?

After getting the bridle cut on one of ours and doing a quick field repair thus making it shorter I felt it actually flys better, haven't bothered to go back to stock.

Mostly I strip the stock bridles off and put on my own kind. You can tune it, so it pulls like a truck or a light pull which will fly just about overhead and not so dang long where you have to daisy chain it
